    From an American ex-pat living and teaching in Japan for 38 years now (and a life-long fan of Jazz and Brazilian sounds) ... Ron Carter is a legend over here too. But as an applied linguist, I can't help but to be dazzled by the psychological correlations between transcribing jazz, actually playing it, and teaching English as a foreign language. Oh, and hearing that he was asking questions to Pat and Herbie, will be heading to Ron's channel right after this. Domo arigato guys!

    Thank You Mr Ron Carter! For many Years I searched for the value of transcription and decided, also long ago, that it would be better to listen to a whole piece of music 5000 times in order to catch a glimpse of what is actually happening. Context is important! People listen differently, and every day is different, anyway.
